He is supposed to be on a cardiac diet and takes Coumadin. He is a meat-and-potato man. No matter what I want to make for dinner, he balks. This has been going on for a couple years now.
He won't eat green veggies because of his Coumadin; i.e., green beans, peas, salad greens, celery, cabbage, brussel sprouts, green peppers, etc. He, all of a sudden, hates rice, brown rice and wild rice especially. He'll only eat white rice with hamburger gravy. He won't eat pasta unless it's spaghetti or macaroni with marinara sauce (with ground beef of course). He won't eat beans except yellow wax beans. No kidney beans or great northern as a side dish, but eats chili and bean soup. There's just so much you can do with barley.
He won't touch anything that say low fat on the package. Turns his nose up at yogurt.
Today, he complained he should be eating less meat. I had to walk away when he said that. I already make fish twice a week and chicken once a week (he doesn't like chicken that much either). He won't eat tuna unless it's tuna sandwiches. Steak? Every day if I let him. I tried cutting his meat down to 3 ounces as recommended but it's not enough for him. The only way he'll eat 3 ounces of meat is if it's filet mignon and who can afford that. His new craving is french fries (baked, not fried of course).
So, what do I feed him now? Anyone else have this problem and how did you solve it? I'm ready to take a cast iron fry pan and do you-know-what with it.
